    Hey Cyrus have you ever listened to The Residents? I think you might like them, especially their early stuff like Third Reich 'n Roll.

     

    They're an avant-garde band/art group that has been making music for about 40 years. Third Reich 'n Roll was their 2nd album, a deconstruction of 60s hits.

     

    Here's a video they made back in the 70s with 4.5 minutes of the album.

    They're amazing, especially live.

    I found this like years ago and it kills me. I had to send this around when I found it.

     

    Here's a severely fucked up Calvin Klein ad campaign in the early/mid 90s. Around this time they were getting flack for using models as young as 15 in ads... This is a compilation of 8 commercials with 7 different people, basically set up as a creepy child molester talking to young models about their bodies.

     

    The order is 2 guys, 4 girls, 2 guys. The guy ones are the best since it ups the creepiness tenfold.

     

    I'd say the first minute is a good enough spot to stop since you see two commercials.

    Who cares that they didn't talk about the movie 'as much' this week? That happens with every director and actor they have as a guest. Smith's stories really added to this and I hope he comes back. The Bruce Willis tidbits I found particularly interesting. I never saw Cop Out, but I could see it definitely taking a hit in quality with someone half-assing it.

     

    Seriously, Southland Tales was bad. It might be the only movie I've ever turned off.

     

    The episode was fine, but I'm surprised to hear Kevin Smith hate on the Vince Vaughn/Russian nesting doll scene in The Watch. I must not be in the 25 year old male demo, because the scene almost killed me - Vaughn's childish delight at the revelation of each new doll was too funny for words.

     

    I was very surprised at that tangent, but so glad it happened. When he first opened the doll and was shocked, I thought, "They're going to do that 4 more times aren't they?" And then they did. I saw that bit coming a mile away and just wanted to get on with the movie. Actually that's how the whole movie felt to me... It felt like it was trying to build toward something, but just never got around to it.

     

    The first 20 minutes of Shaun of the Dead was building, and then everything gets amazing. The Watch? Nope. I had high hopes for that movie even though Vaughn never really did much for me, but I left underwhelmed.

     

    To each their own though.

    Posted this in the new episode's page, didn't realize there was a separate thread...

     

    If you still want a video suggestion, you might like the Super Broker Shuffle:

    It's a shitty video submission for some grocery store contest in the 80s. A bunch of southern white people rapping their grocery store version of Super Bowl Shuffle.

     

    It's 4 minutes long, but for playback purposes you could probably cut it off a little over a minute in and get the point. The rapping doesn't start until about 30+ seconds in.

    I love this show so much due to the insane wordplay and number of puns. Before even hearing about this I had written a few of my own noir/private eye shorts with a ton of jokes. Coincidence? I think not!

     

     

     

    Secondly, I went back and listened to this show for only the second time (1-15 in a row), and I deemed it necessary to edit them all into one seamless track.

     

    Cut to

     

    Five hours later, I have an hour and a half long Mike Detective .mp3.

    Great lineup. Pally has killed every earwolf show he's appeared on.

    I'm going to buy the full run of the live podcasts from the tour... But I've never bought anything downloadable stuff from earwolf before.

     

    Could someone please give me a quick tutorial? Do you actually get to download the episodes from this site or is it through itunes or something? I'm sure I can figure it out, but I want to know what to expect.

    Hilarious stuff. Martin Starr was a great first time guest, and I hope he does come back. Lennon was awesome as usual, and Neil Campbell's rumors were great.

     

    I know I'm not the only one who would love a New No-No's / Gossip combo podcast.

     

     

    Can't make it to the show in Boston tonight, I'm sad.

    Just an educated guess, I'd estimate the whole show is around 2 hours. The recorded shows made to purchase on earwolf are about 1 hour and it is the 2nd part of the show. So, just a wild guess that it's sort of a 2nd act and the 1st is also around an hour. Wow. Those were exausting sentences.

     

    Thanks man. Jeff just said the same thing in response to my question in a separate thread. About 2 hours means I'll have plenty of time.

    The shows have two components, only one is the podcast. I think they are running about 1hr 45mins - 2 hrs for the whole show.

     

    Yeah I meant the time with both components, probably should've specified.

     

    Thanks for the information Jeff. Since it's less than 3 hours I'll be able to go and make it home the same night. Awesome.

    Found the Webster thing. I don't remember the Punky Brewster one, good God, why was there a homeless person on the roof? Better question, why were 80's sitcoms better at tackling tough conversations than anything on TV now?

    Who the fuck leaves a window open in a room they never enter? That's just asking for rain damage, robbery, and tons of other things. There's no need for air circulation since nobody is in there, and it won't smell with nobody there. Damn that's a waste of heat too!
